I agree, Stryker is not the answer for the Army.

Stryker is a return to the old adage of "preparing for the next war." We should be preparing for the most lethal enemy. That is any POTENTIAL enemy that will deny to us air superiority. Without air superiority our ground superiority is illusory.

We should be preparing for the most lethal enemy. That is any POTENTIAL enemy that will deny to us air superiority.

Or against whom air superiority is unusable or ineffectual. We've done okay in the last few exercises in open desert where the targets had nowhere to run. But those were the last wars, which we're of course well-prepared to win again. We've done less well when the battlefield was in the streets of Mogadishu where gunships and tank support were denied to our forces, and at the Pentagon, when our enemies struck on our own soil without warning.
